They were just a fleeting flash of the night.
One of them is said to have walked from Gaza to Tel Aviv.
In my mind, I called her The Belle from Gaza.

The Belle from Gaza is a unique, intimate portrait of trans* women in the area of historical Palestine. In her search for the Belle from Gaza, director Yolande Zauberman takes us into a community of women determined to take their lives firmly into their own hands. Each of the protagonists speaks about love, sex, and body perception with remarkable openness and a sparkle in her eyes.

That sparkle reminds us that the desire for a free and happy life knows no boundaries.

In cinemas from March 21, 2025.
